This edition of The Weekender is going to focus on theater and arts! Of course, browsing the MoMA, the Met, the Museum of Natural History, the Frick, the Museum of Art and Design, and our school's museum is always a good time, but here are a few other options!
1.) See "The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk"
200 Eastern Parkway
Brooklyn, New York 11238-6052
The exhibition is open until 8 p.m. on Sunday, February 23. On-site ticket sales end 5 p.m. Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and 9 p.m. Thursday. Tickets are $15.00.
This multimedia exhibition is organized around seven themes tracing the influences on Gaultier's development—from the streets of Paris to the cinema—since he emerged as a designer in the 1970s. It features approximately 140 haute couture and prêt-à-porter ensembles, from the designer’s earliest to his most recent collections, many of which are displayed on custom mannequins with interactive faces created by high-definition audiovisual projections. Accessories, sketches, stage costumes, excerpts from films, and documentation of runway shows, concerts, and dance performances, as well as photographs by fashion photographers and contemporary artists who stepped into Gaultier’s world, explore how his avant-garde designs challenge societal, gender, and aesthetic codes in unexpected ways.

2.) Enjoy a dance performance at the Joyce Theater
The Joyce Theater
175 Eighth Ave. (8 Av/19 St)
Manhattan, NY 10011
The Joyce starts 2014 with a bang-including companies making their Joyce debut (Restless Creature and Cuba's MalPaso Dance Company) and the return of audience favorites (Pilobolus, the Stephen Petronio Company, Ballet Hispanico, and Savion Glover).
Visit: www.joyce.org for a complete list of shows and ticket prices
3.) See an Off-Broadway play: Kung Fu
An exhilarating portrait of international icon Bruce Lee's journey from troubled Hong Kong youth to martial arts legend, KUNG FU blends dance, Chinese opera, martial arts and drama into a bold new theatrical form. This world premiere production follows Lee in America as he struggles to prove himself as a fighter, a husband, a father, and a man.
Featuring Cole Horibe (So You Think You Can Dance) as Bruce Lee!
